[opensuse-packaging] Yet Another Policy: No new packages in STABLE
- From: Stephan Kulow <coolo@xxxxxxx>

Hi,
Many people complain about Factory lacking dependencies on update.
Most often this is due to new packages not yet being legally reviewed.
So we discussed two policy chances (and will act on it after this email):
- package splits / renames won't be reviewed in the future. For this
clearly mark the split in the changelog. And do not branch packages
that are not subpackages (this is _very_ important!).
- new packages won't be checked into STABLE unless the base packagage
(the name of the .src.rpm) is already reviewed (state production).
Submit those packages to BETA and send a mail to suse-dist and only
after your package was approved for distribution, submit it to STABLE.
You can also submit it to STABLE too so you do not forget about it, but
checkin will be delayed.
I hope everyone understands the reasons. If not, check bug 365543.
Greetings, Stephan
